Pros

“Microsoft Excel has become one of the most valuable applications we use daily across IT and business operations. Whether analyzing ERP data, reconciling EDI transactions, tracking inventory, building dashboards, or creating executive reports, it consistently delivers the flexibility, reliability, and functionality needed to support informed decision-making.”

Dave R.

Manager

“I like using Excel for its versatility and ability to handle everything from simple data tracking to advanced analysis and reporting. Whether I'm organizing prospect lists, tracking sales activities, building reports, or analyzing data on a spreadsheet, Excel provides the flexibility to customize spreadsheets exactly how I need them.”

Jordan V.

Sales Specialist

“Its advanced formulas, PivotTables, charts, Power Query, and automation capabilities make it an essential application for managing large datasets, tracking KPIs, reconciling ERP and EDI data, and generating operational reports.”

Dave R.

Manager

Pros

“I also like how you can install the software on multiple machines and effectively log in to your life, as I do at one of my jobs where I have access to two machines in the building and like to ‘hotdesk’ to keep myself focused throughout the day: the synchronisation is great.”

James L.

Teacher of Music

“The integration with every app I use, plus having a full browser to keep relevant tabs open by context, is simply brilliant.”

Kavi S.

Lead UX Product Designer

“I have full control over how I want to see the apps stacked and which ones I want sending notifications and which ones I need to stay quiet while I work.”

Andrew L.

Founder

Cons

“Creating functions in which you request excel to analyze and count data between dates such as analyzing the length of time between specific dates can be a bit more difficult than other types of functions.”

Daniel C.

Benefits and Compliance Manager

“The mobile app is pretty much worthless for us when writing budget spreadsheets - don't have half the columns on my phone during board meetings.”

Katherine R.

School Administrator

“Customer support can be slow for non-enterprise plans, and the learning curve for advanced features (VBA, Power Query) is steep for casual users.”

Syed H.

Financial Accoutnant

Cons

“I’m not the sort of person to spend money, I like free stuff, but thought that the price was a steal (with educational discount - 70% off!)”

James L.

Teacher of Music

“I thought I'd give Wavebox a go as I was getting annoyed by the number of tabs I had open.”

James L.

Teacher of Music

“Chrome tabs are a nightmare with how disorganized they are and Wavebox brings order to that chaos, turning my previously 50+ tab windows into a much more manageable experience by putting the tabs into app categories automatically.”
